SALE Metlox - Poppytrail - Homestead Provincial 24 Ounce Pitcher

Pottery : Dinnerware : Metlox : Poppytrail : Homestead Provincial

 

The Metlox Manufacturing Company was established around 1927 by Willis and T. C. Prouty in Manhattan Beach, California. The Prouty family originally sold their pottery as ProutyLine Products. The Metlox name is derived from combining parts of the words "metal" and "oxide", the substance that gives the pottery its vibrant colors.

Looking for additional ways to increase revenue during the hard times of the 30's, Metlox began producing housewares, including the Poppytrail line. Various dinnerware patterns, including Homestead Provincial and California Provincial, became extremely popular in the 60's, and maintained that popularity until the company went out of business in 1989.

This sweet Poppytrail 24 oz. pitcher is in the Homestead Provincial pattern. The Homestead Provincial pattern (#140) was first issued in 1950. The pitcher stands 6 5/8" high. It is in excellent condition except for a small chip on the spout (please see all pictures). Although the chip does not reduce the functionality or the overall beauty and quality of the pitcher, there has been a price reduction reflecting this minor blemish.

Whether you need a replacement pitcher, want to add to your existing collection, or are just starting to collect Poppytrail pottery dinnerware, this is a must-have item.
